The message to aspiring poets that you have created here is both positive and interesting.. It gives insights into what good poetry can be and by its own example inspires. I hate acrostics, but you show that it can work as a poetic form with lyrical and intelligent effect. Best of luck in the contest.

You described poetry very well with minimal words but volumes of effort. Just as it should be, excellent piece with great art work that captures your poetry well.

True poetry comes from the heart with strong emotional outlets. Your poem is very well written with a smooth flow of words and good imagery.

I Agree with what you say poetry should be. Not many people will read the kind of poem you describe. Poetry comes in many forms and that is what we have in Fan Story. Writers who write from their heart and to be understood by all whether it rhymes or not. I know what I like to read anything too complicated , beyond comprehension is not my cup of tea. That's why many poetry books are in stores with very few people to read them. Poetry should be written for the general public. This are my feelings and are not to offend you or anyone reading it.

It is definitely a positive and cheerful poem. It is well written and flows well. It has good rhyme. I disagree a little about your "containing" poetry. Art is creative and expressive, it is emotional, irrational, and without rules or borders. Entertaining, is similar to beauty, it is in the eye, or heart of the beholder. Just my opinion. Well done on your poem. Thank you for sharing.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Your acrostic poem is very nice about poetry. When I saw the word realism,
I thought about, oh, not another -ism. I know the one the government (U.S.)favors is ideology (I think). When I had my course in short story writing/journalism I learned a lot about -ism, for instant, socialism and etc..
Poetry is a medium used to express ones feelings.

Your poem rhymes well and will always be appreciated among the more educated.

Good luck with your poem.
